it should be easy to recapitalize Twitter using sales of Tesla stock, so I cant believe its an actual shortage of cash. Probably trying to game the litigation cycle and pay at the very last minute? But to what end, it seems like a doomed game to play, you either have money coming in or you dont.

Is the calculation just that the cost of litigation will be less than the full contract lease? I don’t understand how that could work.

Twitter could just declare bankruptcy and restructure.

I agree this is where things are headed. Is it a sure thing that Elon maintains control in a restructuring?

With a fraction of the people, they must only need a fraction of the space. Maybe it's some tactic to renegotiate the lease? Though that seems unlikely to work out.
